One thing we admire about Micro Four Thirds cameras is that you can get up all kinds of lenses on them using simple, inexpensive adapters. In fact, I'm only about to sell my Nikon D700 since we roughly never use it, but I'm gripping my lenses to use on a Panasonic GF1.
But until now, Canon users had to without orifice manage when using lenses on other bodies. Canon EF get up lenses need power to trigger their orifice leaves, and pacifist adapters simply leave the lenses stranded far-reaching open. RedRock Micro solves this with the LiveLens Active Mount, a powered converter that lets you use your lens as it was ostensible to be.
Aperture is tranquil by a row on the adapter itself, not by the camera. You do remove autofocus functions, but as the adapter is essentially meant for people sharpened video, you'll be focusing manually anyway.
The LiveLens is flattering expensive, at $488. This compares to sub-$50 pacifist adapters. Given that Canon owners seeking to fire pro-level video will expected opt for a Canon body, the marketplace for this seems small. If you're starting from scratch, it would be ample smarter to select a cheaper Nikon adapter and collect from the incomparable operation of used Nikon potion that still have handbook orifice rings.
Still, it's kinda neat, and maybe signals the day where aged SLR lenses can lay on Micro Four Thirds bodies with all electronic functions intact.
